The Sahel experienced a severe drought during the 1970s and 1980s after wet periods in
the 1950s and 1960s. Although rainfall partially recovered since the 1990s, the drought had …

Climate in the tropical North Atlantic and West Africa is known to be sensitive to both the
atmospheric burden and optical properties of aerosolized mineral dust. We investigate the …

The Response of the Tropical Atlantic and West African Climate to Saharan Dust in a Fully
Coupled GCM in: Journal of Climate Volume 28 Issue 18 (2015) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Aerosol‐cloud interactions refer to the group of atmospheric processes by which aerosols
influence cloud properties, and sometimes also processes by which clouds affect aerosols …

Global climate models (GCMs) underestimate the observed trend in tropical expansion.
Recent studies partly attribute it to black carbon (BC) aerosols, which are poorly represented …

While black carbon aerosols (BC) are believed to modulate the Indian monsoons, the
radiative forcing estimate of BC suffers from large uncertainties globally. We analyze a suite …

An ensemble of simulations covering the present day observational period using forced sea
surface temperatures and prescribed sea‐ice extent is configured with an 85 truncation …

Atmospheric models often represent the aerosol particle size distribution with a modal
approach, in which particles are described with log-normal modes within predetermined size …

The study analyzes summertime lightning incidence data across northern tropical Africa from
the TRMM satellite sensor during 1998–2011. It uses harmonic analyses to detect the spatial …
